Conducted
by the Services division of DCNS for (and in cooperation with) the French
Navy, such overhaul operations are intended to conduct scheduled visits
to the vessel's propulsion system and to upgrade the weapon system. Ultimately
such operations allow to recover the optimal performance of the vessel
or to upgrade their capabiliies. Developed with economic performance and operational efficiency in mind, DCNS services are based on proven expertise, with readily available teams all over the world offering the full range of naval support services. The Group also makes the most of its talent for innovation and its experience of successful operations to optimise service performance, with respect to both quality and cost. |

The
Cassard class guided-missile destroyers (typed by French Navy as frégates
antiaériennes type F 70 AA or anti-aircraft frigates) are intended
to participate in anti-aircraft operations, escort of capital ships (such
as aircraft carriers or large amphibious vessels) as well as air and sea
control. Both vessels of the class are homeported in Toulon naval base
and are part of the Force d'Action Navale (Naval Action Force). They will be replaced by an AAW variant of the FREMM Frigate called FREDA in the 2020ies. Link to Cassard class frigate technical datasheet |
